136	136
137	137	Mr. James Dunn is a business owner, experienced O ptions and S tock
138	138	Market Trader, financial s trategist, and change a gent who partners with
139	139	CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs to grow their personal finances
140	140	and professional brands, human- to-human. After spending nearly a
141	141	decade learning how to navigate the stock markets, he began trading for
142	142	other individuals and eventually found a passion in education, utilizing
143	143	financial literacy to engage audiences of all ages, backgrounds and
144	144	socioeconomic status. Mr. Dunn knows what truly drives one’s savings
145	145	potential, wealth trajectory and generational wealth—and it’s not
146	146	landing the highest paying jobs or mastering the stock flavor of the
147	147	week. It’s how well you connect the dots between your earnings and
148	148	savings, focusing your spending on needs and not wants in the short
149	149	term to achieve financial freedom in the long term. He also understands the importance of
150	150	connecting with the heartbeat of people you’re trying to help and communicating your
151	151	understanding back to them.
152	152	Mr. Dunn recently launched “From the Streets to Wallstreet,” a program to introduce youth in
153	153	urban communities to the stock market and financial literacy, and to expose them to the inner
154	154	workings of America’s financial center in New York City. With a partnership with some of the
155	155	world’s financial elite, “From the Streets to Wallstreet” is poised to become one of the leading
156	156	financial literacy programs for youth and young adults in urban communities. In addition to his
157	157	extensive knowledge of the stock market, he is a serial entrepreneur; currently owning a logistics
158	158	company that moves freight throughout the US, operates a mobile barbering company, serves as
159	159	Vice President of FLINT, LLC, providing education and human services to residents of the DC
160	160	metropolitan area, and is a trained public speaker.
